It's the 6th day since the torrential downpour
in northern Kyushu.

It has been still raining heavily since July 5th.

The record-braking downpour has caused
a lot of damages or misfortunes on a number of people
in Fukuoka and Oita.

More than 20 people became victims
to the natural disasters.

Many are reported still missing.

Several areas are isolated due to landslides or flooding.

About 1400 people are forced to live in evacuation sites.

They are enduring all sorts of distress, I think.

I don't know how to express my sympathy.

If I were much younger,
I would go to them
and work as a volunteer for them!

I pray they are strong
enough to survive this difficulty.

I was thinking of them when I was walking
to my daughter's house this morning.
